  1. I got the hat btw. I am so ready for this season to start.
  2. Here's a good one for everyone thinking Texas has culture issues or is quiet quitting or Sark has lost the locker room or whatever other bullshit is trying to be imagined. YouCut_20251020_124138947.mp4 We have the right guy in charge. He may need to make some staff changes or get back to the drawing board but Sark is the fucking man and these kids play their asses off for him.
  3. He doesn't give a fuck about the Spurs. All his posts in here are just bitching about project connect.
  4. We likely will not be dogs against Vandy. We may not be against atm.
  5. Haha. That genre is called rage. Kicked off in large part by guys like Playboi Carti and Trippie Redd. I'm sure Kanye dipped his toes a bit and/or inspired it to some degree. Carti himself is probably the most influential guy since Ye. It's one of the bigger/more creative genre breaks within a genre in music history. A bit like grunge around 1990 separating itself from whatever rock was at that point. Much more atmospheric and beat-focused and less concerned with lyricism. And not in a bad way necessarily although I get both the appeal and lack of.
  6. Oh. Wait. We're crushing it again?
  7. Also this is crazy good.
  8. I like how the real fans slowly reveal themselves during weeks like this.
  9. A flawed, .500 team. I'll be damned if they aren't entertaining, though. Really wish they hadn't lost that Carolina game.
  10. Lol as soon as he threw that I knew it was an awful decision.
  11. Bro step away from the keys for a bit. I don't see anyone cheering or celebrating. That wasn't a moral victory - that was an actual victory. I could care less how this team wins football games if they keep winning. Games like last night make me question how many games this team winds up winning but they play them for a reason. Just ask Brent Venables.
  12. Lmao seriously. Last night was brutal to sit through.
  13. If aggy played us tomorrow in DKR it would basically be a pick 'em.
  14. Man. I hope Texas fucks up 9 more times this season.
  15. I don't think FSU has the money for Norvell this season. Or they are wildly trying to scrape it together.
  16. I get you're sticking up for Westlake but don't feed bullshit trolling like that. You left out that he has started for two Final Four teams and was a fucking All-American last season. Taaffe is card-carrying DBU and has blown expectations out of the water. I watched every snap from the stands sober. I thought he was really damn good. Especially against the run game. He, Ant, Jehlani and MM were our best players on D imo.
  17. Some final thoughts. Kentucky as a whole almost feels like a different country. Everything is kind of dirty, out of date, and in slight disrepair. There seems to be a lot of understaffing, undersupply and just general poor organization. Even compared to states like Arkansas, Louisiana or Alabama that I've been to. (okay probably not compared to Louisiana now that I think about it) I think mainly it's just an observation of economic circumstance. Maybe someone that knows more could chime in. It is what it is. Louisville is a nice little city with quite a bit to do - not that we got to do much. It kind of struck me as like a Rich Man's version of Little Rock or Memphis et al. Lexington reminded me a decent amount of East Texas. The neighborhood between campus and wherever the Bear and Butcher and Charlie Brown's are was beautiful to walk through a couple times. The campus itself is nice but unremarkable. Everything seemed pretty new like 15 years ago they tore it all down and started over? The fanbase was both better looking and less... Appalachiany... than I thought. There was a dose of redneck in the stands but I didn't see anything nasty or physical. Which brings me to a larger point that the people as a whole are utterly pleasant. It's like a cross between Southern fake-politeness and Midwestetn earnestness. I'm not sure what happens when you cross the border to Ohio. Everyone has some unsolicited story or information to share and acts as if you're the first person they've seen in a week. The stadium itself is almost as classic as it gets. Really great environment and the fans punch above their weight. Anyone that didn't want to play football in this conference is a fucking moron. Texas fits in beautifully and it was very cool to see the stylistic contrast between the fans, cheers and band. Especially standing for UK's alma mater and then singing The Eyes. Overall - great experience - and left a very positive impression of UK fans and Kentucky as a whole with me. My mom has some friends that live an hour outside of Lousiville so maybe I'll need to come back for SMU hoops or football or Texas basketball. Also makes me want to check out some more SEC destinations. 🤘 YouCut_20251019_162939711.mp4
  18. Texas athletics pays for itself and usually makes money.
  19. I have no idea where you're seeing LSU -5.5. aggy is -2.5.
  20. I would be too. They've been getting their ass kicked quite a bit.
